Thans s Netsu very much!

I have got it !

xset s 1                               # run the screensaver for every 1s
xset s default                      # set the default for about 10 mins

You could also use:

xset dpms force off

(Maybe, in the cronjob, you need to prepend DISPLAY=":0" to the xset command)
